    I found this in the local Goodwill for $2.99.....
    Is it Bitossi, Fratelli Fanciullacci, something else? It's a cylinder shape, 7" tall , and 3.25" diameter. (17cm x 8cm)
    I found 2 similar on the web, both calling them Bitossi.

    Any and all opinions welcome!

    Not Bitossi, the Italy mark is wrong.

    Thanks OBB!
    I thought so, too. So some other factory, I guess.
    It does have that recessed rough
    bottom, which I like.
    So it's a Mid Mod mystery!

    If you’re on Facebook, the Bitossi group may know. But there’s a fair few mystery ones out there.

    maybe not...but here goes......

    gawd that's an awful looking thing...
    it looks like someone took 30 minutes to make it with no thought for the design...no balance or symmetry , slapdash painting, cuts too deep....ect, ect...

    You like it ?
    OK..... I can't argue that......but could u please tell me why ?
    What do you see in that , that I can't see ?

    I liked the fact that it was $2.99!
    Komo thinks my vase is fugly! Waaaah!:wacky::wacky:

    Lots of Italian (and other) mid-mod pottery is rather funky and unattractive anyway, with gloppy glaze and lumpy surfaces.
    But I'm a gambler, and I'd rather pick it up now, and not worry later that I missed a great thing!
